Is there something wrong with the world you live in? Maybe it’s the way older people are treated. Perhaps it’s the shameful extent of child poverty.  It could be the slow pace of progress on the climate change issue. Whatever it is, it’s driving you crazy.
So, what [...]]]></description>

February 8th, 2009
Slip! Slop! Slap! It’s an Australian mantra. In the fierce sun here, everyone is exhorted to slip on a T-shirt, slop on some sunscreen and slap on a hat. While I can do the slipping and slopping, the slapping is a problem — hats don’t fit me. I have a really [...]]]></description>
